The Artful Traveler Revels in Repetition |
|||
The rhythm of travel comes from repetition Repetition the body’s way of becoming other, being’s rhythm
The way to difference—the only way—is repetition Repetition already difference anyway
Habit frames the journey from beginning to end From beginning to end every departure is from habit, every arrival returns to it
The adventurer fantasizes a total rupture from habit Habit, however, conditions the very rapture so zealously sought by the ardent adventurer
The new arises between one repetition and another Another turn (the question is, which one?) turns out the new
The traveler who has not learned to love repetition has not yet learned to travel To travel to repeat what must be repeated till it has unraveled the traveler |
